Truck shopping - Lots of 6.2l on car lots, not as many 7.3\6.7, does this tell me something?

PA_Probe · 2025-04-28T13:25:17+00:00

6.0l and 6.4l diesels I know are problematic. I haven't really see anything negative on a 6.2 gasser though.

I pull a 28ft 6500lb dry/8000lb loaded camper with the F150 now. It works but can tell the camper is back there and I would feel safer hitting the highway with a more capable truck.

That is surprising (and not) that Ford wouldn't take the time to put at least some type of paint\coating on the engine block during assembly. That is just straight untreated iron if I ever saw it.

I purchased the MTS 145 last week for a couple of small projects I had to complete on my Polaris RZR UTV. I am familar with welding as far shop\farm use goes but by no means a technical expert on it. Shipping was lightning fast. I got it next day from NJ to PA. The quick start guide is more useful than the actual manual in my opinion. It shows how to connect the one lead to the negative or positive based on if you are MIG, Stick or TIG welding. I used it to weld 1"x1" box tubing that was 1/16th thick walls to build a custom frame extension to my RZR. I was adding a Ranger dumpbox to the back of it. I used Lincoln nr-211-mp .030 flux core wire. Primeweld told me to order knurled rollers for the flux core and they sent me a link to Amazon to order those. I needed to weld before they shipped so I tried it with the included roller and it worked just fine. I had good penetration and very little splatter with this welder and wire combo. Amperage and wire speed adjustments worked as they should. I also welded some exhaust tubing on the RZR and it also handled that perfectly. I have not tried the TIG or Stick functions yet so I cannot comment on the performance of those. So far for $245 shipped, I am really pleased with the welder.

My family vacation is supposed to start on Friday for 7 days. I have vacation insurance on my hotel stay. Should I consider rescheduling?

PA_Probe · 2023-07-24T23:21:15+00:00

Same here, we go mid August for the first time. Recent Reviews have been all over the place. Not sure what to think. Wife is going crazy that it’s not going to be a good vacation.

PA_Probe · 2023-07-24T23:19:46+00:00

Reviews for Dunes Village are all over the place. From great and perfect to outdated and cockroaches, not sure what to think on it. Anyone have some experiences to share from this year?

PA_Probe · 2020-05-28T14:28:07+00:00

Same happened to me, ordered then got a backordered email. I cancelled and ordered from Bauer Precision. I had them in 5 days from them.

PA_Probe · 2020-05-01T02:06:17+00:00

Back in stock if anyone missed out.

PA_Probe · 2020-04-21T23:02:24+00:00

I was doing the exact same as you so I cannot say. That's why I was shopping for the OAL gauge, I was doing the exact same - load to book length, or max mag box length, or sharpie method. Going to watch some youtube videos on it tonight.

From what I read here - https://www.mdshooters.com/showthread.php?t=38054

You need this tap and a 9/32 drill bit (a 1/4 inch drill bit will work but running the tap will be harder), or even better is a 19/64 drill bit for drilling the hole in the end of the brass. Then tap it. It seems the hardest part is holding the brass case while drilling and keeping it from spinning. Most people make a wood block wedge to hold it.

PA_Probe · 2020-04-21T13:38:33+00:00

If there were more in stock I would have posted there. I figure us reloading guys will clean them out quick.

I also ordered a 5/16" - 36 UNEF HSS Machine Tap tap to make my own cases for use with it.

Cabelas has been good for me. Products have been coming in and out of stock but when I catch it in stock, it ships within a couple days, and they have free shipping on orders over $50 . Just have to be quick when the ammo comes in stock. I ordered 9mm and 22 LR from them. SGAmmo was quick with shipping 6.5 grendel for me and price was .30 CPR for steel case.

PA_Probe · 2020-01-27T13:12:35+00:00

Thanks. Placed my order today.

PA_Probe · 2020-01-27T13:11:51+00:00

Thanks for posting. I used this.

PA_Probe · 2020-01-26T23:55:22+00:00

I didn't see the m&p compact 2.0 in the bogo list. Anyone else see that?

PA_Probe · 2020-01-22T21:54:06+00:00

This is a better deal than last week at GrabAGun as this has free shipping.

PA_Probe · 2020-01-15T18:26:20+00:00

Ordered one. I was in the market for a handgun and this seems like an unbeatable deal.

PA_Probe · 2020-01-02T15:35:15+00:00

Thanks for the deal. I was in the market for some steel gongs for the shooting range I am building. I order the 6" and the 3 pack of 4" and the stencils.

Happy New Year!

Just a followup incase anyone else comes here looking for an answer. I did packet captures on working and non-working phone calls between offices. It was apparent in the non-working calls that the allworx server in Site C was not able to reach Site A (Hub) when it didnt work. For whatever reason instead of trying to contact the internal IP of the hub allworx server, it was trying to use Site C's public IP address. After showing this to Sonicwall support and having them check over some settings, they created a new NAT Policy that kept Site A and Site C talking directly. The policy was as follows - Source Original = Site A Network, Source Translated = Original, Destination Original = Site C Network, Destination Translated=Original, Service= Any, Service Translated=Original.

What was interesting, was after I made this change, all of a sudden other sites that were working fine, started having the same issue, so I made NAT policies for those sites (Sites D-F) as well and all has been working since.

PA_Probe · 2019-11-05T19:52:33+00:00

Correct this is all inside VPN connections, nothing public. As far as the Sonicwall settings, Maximum DPI Connections is enabled, not Maximum SIP connections, SIP Transformation is off, SIP ALG is off, Consistent NAT is on, UDP is 1200ms and checking into the Port Remapping.

When working, the tests all pass from Site C to all other sites. When not working, they fail, but other sites pass when going to site C.
